Story follow up activities

If you go to this playlist on youtube you'll find lots of ideas for things that can be done in online sessions with the young people that we serve. But there aren't so many examples there of whole 45 minute or one hour sessions (apart from this brilliant example by Alex and Sahar) Our new volunteers understandably have lots of questions about what a whole session might look like?

• What kinds of activities might happen during a 45 minute period?

• How can we link activities together in a session?

• How can we involve everyone in the class in activities?

• How does an online session fit with what has happened before in previous sessions, or with their regular classes?

• What is the role of the classroom teacher in the process?

• How do the students generally respond to what we do?

In the video below you can see a sequence of activities that I did a few days ago with a small group of around 15 girls from Beach Elementary Co-Ed UNRWA school in Gaza. In the previous week's session I'd told them the story of Juha and the Meat. It's certainly not a model lesson by any means but I think it does provide some possible answers to the questions above. Above all I think it shows how nice the kids are to work with! Please feel free to ask questions or post comments below.
